Discovery of Bodywork

How I came into doing bodywork

Ironically having a severe spinal injury in a sport event in high school laid down the path to a new world and the journey I was to embark on.

After 5 years of excruciating pain and different treatments with no results, some of which made matters even worse. I received bodywork from someone who really listened to what my body needed. As a result the pain began to subside and my body began to heal.

As of that moment I decided to learn more on how to also help others who were suffering from pain. A whole new world opened up for me. Since then, I have been inspired to go out and help other in the same way. I began by doing an apprenticeship for 2 years with the therapist that helped in the healing of my neck injury. There after i attended accredited massage schools to further my knowledge and become a licensed therapist.

Relating With Patients and Therapist

Understanding Your Needs From A Therapist and Patients Perspective

What patients and therapist have in common when it come to treatments is getting results.

I have an insider’s knowledge on how to recover from injury, chronic pain, and of the needs to maintain a healthy balanced body.

Whenever i’m am teaching a course or giving a session I always share my knowledge so that you can help in the progress. whether

it is to help in the healing process, preventive care so injuries do not

occur or to help relieve stress and live a more relaxed and stable life.

I also have an insiders knowledge of the needs of athletes, and have had the privilege of helping athletes ranging from Tennis Players at the US Open, Baseball Players (amateur and Pro), Triathletes, Runners (New York Marathon, and Bay area) Iron-Man, Swimmers, Dancers, etc.. By increase their performance while decreasing pain and soreness, healing injuries and preventing injuries.

I have worked with various Doctors, practitioners, and philosophies over the years acupuncturist, chiropractors and physical therapist, at Holistic Centers, Health Clinics. Spas and Schools around the world.

It is an honor to help others and I am grateful for this.
